Either way, the consumer get.s le.is bread for his money. ~ In the old days of, large families iwhen practically everybody lived on ,th* land, the idea of paying cash money for bread or any other cooked food seem^fd like wasteful extrava gance. These days, with smaller fam ilies, mostly living in cities and towns, it just doesn’t pay to bake home bread. My wife can still make as good bread as I have ever tasted, and about once a year she bake.s a batch just to keep her hand in.

' People Have looked at me slant- ways when I have told them that gpavy was better for their “kida” than cOd-liver oil—and I’ve been telling ’em that for nearly a half century. I knew a family who, all of them, were swept away by tuberculosis of the lutigs—all but one, the last little daughter. She consulted me a few days after my graduation, in medicine —about her lungs!. Her three sistera and a brother had died of it. She nat urally felt that she was doomed. “Fanny,” I said, “you go home and leam to live on fat meats,, rich milk* and qgga. See that yen (fe that, as many times'a day as you ait down to the table.” I made it as im]»aasiT« result of less friction. And that is interesting, because usually we are try ing to reduce friction all we can. We use ball and roller bearings to overcome friction. We smooth and polish parts to reduce fric tion. We put oil in our cars to avoid friction. But we can’t get along without friction, just the same. For, after all, we couldn’t start a car, we couldn’t stop a car, we ccmldn’t turn a comer, if it weren’t for friction. 'The friction between the road and our rub- ber tires is what gives us traction. Most of the time we have plenty of traction. But in certain climates every year. Winter comes blowing and. blustering down from the North, and the first thing we know he has spread ice and snow over o\ir roads, and our whole traction condition is changed. But automobiles are pretty well prepared these days to meet any conditions. All we have to do is to adjust ourselves to these changed drcumstances. For instance, many skillful drivers start their cars in high gear on very slippery, icy streets. Ordinarily this would be a bad thing to do. But when our tires have to start us going on slippery Ice or snow, starting in second or “high” is harmless and it does help to avoid spinning wheels, side slipping and difficulty in getting imder way. If you haven’t tried this after stoi^ing at intersections, you may be sur prised tq find out how much more quickly you ge/ , started again.' Only remember to engage the clut^ ' very slowly. - Thii business of starting in slippery weather can be quite a problem. But stopping is even, more so. However, most good^ drivers agree on one method that they find quite^satisfactory. Fii^'of all they begin to slow their cars down at quite'a distance from where they want to stop. TheF press the brake litfiUy at first and release it almost at once. Then they press again and release quickly. By a series of briet moderate brake actions, instead of one continuous pressure, they gradually reduce q>eed and can usually stop without skidding. Many of the best drivers al\yays make it a point not to disengage the clutdi as soon as they-apply their 4o-srMt tmt^ car has ahnoet stoppqd.—WMle this la their general practice. tbey_ say ill is especially important on slippery roads; aa Oiey claim it reduces the chances of skidding. But if we use this method there ia one thing we must out for. We have to remember that on a slippery su^ face it ia very easy to stall our engine by mrfwg ear brakes whmi the dutdi la still engaged. Outside of starting and stopping, most winter ddd« ding is at turns and curves. good driven tsQ w ^t they trc|it every slippery curve or turn M ttwaHi it were going to be a stop. In other words; they ap* . ... preach curvet using the very mama nt moderate brake actiona. The result is that wfash they reedi the curve they going so slowly ^ they can eetoally give the engine a iRtle gas iSm soma power in tiie wheels. With power dse wheds, we are not so likely to skid. After all. the main thing to do about <hhing in Slippery weather is just whst we do about walking in slippery weather. We are sU pretty cexeful aboot that. Hie first thing most of us do when wo go out on a slippery morning is to put out one foot cautioai^ Mm •Bdfettfaefeeloffhesutlbee tX ^ etreftd we have to be.
